ECOPR

[Charlamanderxxxx]

Since the end of November 2024, my wife is currently waiting for eCOPR. Would it be possible to apply for her Ontario health card? I visited Ontario Services, and they said they need an IRCC letter, saying the applicant has early approval for the PR application. But we haven't received an early approval from the London UK Office. We have submitted web-form and emailed asking for a letter that can help us to avail medical while she is waiting for eCOPR, but they have not responded to our request. Any suggestions, on what we can do to avail medical services?

I applied for my first OHIP using the AIP letter. Did your wife receive this via email? it should be when the eligibility was done

If she has an approval in principle letter she can apply for OHIP

No, she did not receive an AIP letter and we have asked the London Office to send us one, but they have not. Even her eligibility has been green since June 2024. Last year in October 2024, we even ended up paying a huge amount of hospital bills for a surgery.

Yes, I understand the backlog, which is no ones fault in personal level, it is a systemic/infrastructure problem. Yet, the part I do not understand is seeing many people had later AOR dates or P2 dates than mine already getting their PR cards and I am still waiting. Of course, mine is not the worst case, I am also aware there are many people have been still waiting with AOR/P2 dates way earlier than mine.
The part I do not understand is, accountability and service standards part. Like, there is no standard from officer to officer or case to case, there is no transparency. PR application feels like doing something like voodoos or magic and wait for ancient gods to response in modern times, while everything else has standards and tracking information these days.
Still, thank you for your soothing response.

Although I understand the frustration applying for immigration is not done in a chronological order because all applications need different levels of assessments. Some may have medicals that need to be reviewed by healthcare worker and even additional tests, have longer background checks, have more complex evaluation for genuineness of a relationship, etc.

You should have taken out travel medical insurance until your spouse received OHIP not knowing when your spouse would get AIP. Too late now but always should be the plan for those arriving in Canada as a visitor who will not qualify for provincial healthcare on arrival.

I am so sorry to hear that, Hopefully eCOPR comes soon so you can apply for OHIP

That'd be realistic. Many October P2s are still getting cleared to this date!

Any update?

Does anyone know how long it takes to get PR after getting eCOPR?

 

[ABWAQAR]

Also, has anyone traveled on the PRTD Application for a permanent resident travel document? how long it takes to get it?

Assume you mean PR card. Anywhere from a few weeks to a few months.
